Clicking the Leave button starts the download process. We have covered the Google Drive not downloading Zip files issue in detail. Do take a look for other solutions.
To enable cookies, open drive. Click on the tiny lock icon present on the left side of the address bar. Then, select Cookies from the list. In the pop-up window that appears, click on the Blocked tab.
Check if you find any link related to Google. Click on that and hit the Allow button at the bottom. Finally, click on Done. Restart the page or the browser, and you should be able to download the files again. When someone sends you a Google Drive link to download files, you need to be signed in with the same account allowed to access those files.
Basically, Google Drive file sharing permissions works in two ways. The owner who generates a link for the file or the folder can let anyone with the link access the file.
In that case, any Google account can be used to view or download files. But the owner can also restrict the files to a select few users only based on their email address. In such cases, you need to switch your Google account to the right one. If you are a Google Chrome user, you can sign into multiple Google accounts. However, one of them is used as a default account. That account is also used for the Google Chrome sync feature. Whenever you receive a Google Drive link accessible from a different account, you need to switch to that account.
To do so, open drive. You will be signed in with the default account. After looking around, I came across several reasons as to why Google Docs fails to download documents. An outdated web cache, insufficient file permissions, and improperly configured browser settings can all contribute to the issue. That said, let's take a look at several troubleshooting tips that worked for me and help you quickly get things back on track. As a security measure, Chrome prevents sites from downloading files one after another.
To check if this is the case, load Google Docs in a new tab, and then click the padlock-shaped icon next to the address bar—if Automatic Downloads is set to Block Default , set it to Allow instead. An outdated web cache can also cause various issues with websites and web apps, and Google Docs is no exception.
To rule that out, you must clear cached data related to the web app. Thankfully, you do not have to clear the entire Chrome cache—check out this guide for detailed instructions on how to clear the Google Docs cache only. Do you use an ad blocking extension in Chrome? It could be what's stopping Google Docs from successfully initiating downloads. Chrome's Incognito mode can help bypass various browser-related issues caused by outdated browser caches or problematic extensions. Then, sign into Google Docs with your Google Account credentials and attempt to download a document.
Just make sure not to delete your passwords or auto-fill data while you are at it. Personal accounts get 15 GB of storage for free; basic corporate accounts get 30 GB. You can edit all kinds of documents, including Microsoft Office ones, right within the app.
You can even share files with others and download them too. The downloading part, however, does sometimes break. A common error here is HTTP , saying that access to …googleusercontent. Logically, you might wonder how that can be and why Google could be restricting access to your own files.
While Google Drive errors for denying access, failing to perform an action, or forbidding something are truly very occasional, they nevertheless result in a fury of questions from users. Few things are as alarming as not being able to have complete control of your files. So why does it happen? There are generally three catalysts for Google Drive errors: your user account, your browser, or your Mac or even a combination of these.
Surprisingly, Google Drive gives you several methods for downloading any file. So while there might be a glitch with one of them, others might work as usual. Fourth, if you double-click on photos and PDFs, or if you choose Preview from the top menu for any other file, you can then click the download icon at the top. Fifth, when you try to download a few files at once, Google Drive will create a zip archive. There are instances where this archive could fail to download.
In detail I have a huge Google Docs document shared with a team containing pages, multiple images, lots of equations , drawings, tables, etc. Problematic workarounds There are some workarounds, although unfortunately they produce other problems: if I split this document into at least 3 parts as separate documents, I CAN download the whole thing as PDF it is obvious that it is a very uncomfortable solution we want to edit the document as ONE large doc.

Google recently added the export as ePUB see googleappsupdates. Please consider to give it a try and share with us what happened. I just downloaded the mentioned document in. So it seems like PDF format is the only one which has some sort of restrictions or exporting problems with such a large document. I still don't understand why.
I'll try to create a similar document and share it with all of you to be able to show the phenomenon I wouldn't like to share the original document. I don't think that we could do anything to make the Google Docs file converter to be able to convert a large PDF file. Unfortunately the limits regarding file export are not clearly documented, but I think the limitation is related to the execution time.
This produces a huge document, but it does the job at least. I mainly need the functionality to produce a PDF document to get a complete document which does not have its equations messed up and is in a portable format. Did you already tried to print to PDF instead of export? Show 3 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. However, I did find another workaround that is not mentioned above: Open the "Print" dialog.
